Google announced today it has released its eighth Transparency Report since 2010 when the search engine began providing data on government requests to remove content.According to the latest Transparency Report
covering the first half of 2013, Google saw a “significant” increase in
the number of requests from Turkey and Russia, with Russia’s requests
to remove content more than double the number of requests the country
filed throughout 2012.
For the US, Google says it saw a 70 percent increase in the number of
content removal requests compared to the second half of 2012. The site
received 27 requests from a federal government agency to suspend 89 apps

of the apps after review.
